A/N: This is the first chapter at the present day. The Prologue explaining the plot and their promise will appear before chapter three. :D
I twitched as I felt the chilled air brush against my skin, seeping through my pyjamas. Some one had stolen my bed cover and I was thoroughly pissed off.
"Haruhi~!" I heard a familiar high voice say as I tried to nod back off to sleep. "You'll be late for the opening ceremony!" He continued as warmth returned.
And strangely enough I didn't want sleep any more. Instead what I wanted was to get up and polish myself from head to toe. 'Cept something was stopping that...
My annoying father had climbed on top of me. "Ge-get off!" I yelled as I furiously pushed him away. "Geez. You're as bad as a kid!" I continued as I clambered out of my bed, aggravated and fussy.
"But Honey~!" He shyfully pressed, "I just tried to get you up."-he struck an innocent pose- " You didn't have to push me." He continued, moaning.
"The hell I didn't!" I shouted as I dragged him to the door by his collar. "Why couldn't you have been a normal dad!? You know, the type that knocks!?" I continued ranting as I struggled to take off my pyjama top.
"But Honey~!" He whined as he opened the door. "I-" He was cut off by my angry and embarrassed squeals.
"You Bastard~!" I screamed as I placed my now removed top to my chest. "Jesus!" I continued as he quickly back tracked himself into the hallway.
"Sorry~!" He said as he rushed down stairs, thoroughly embarrassed at seeing my unguarded breasts (which I might add, I only just got!). "Breakfast in ten!" he continued as his voice faded towards the kitchen.
"Urgh!" I repeated to myself. "What kind of a dad opens the door on a changing girl!?" I asked as I fastened my jean's zipper. "I mean, really!" I continued brushing my short brown hair, not concious of how often I was scraping my ears with the rigid brush.
Within the next few minutes I walked downstairs towards the kitchen, death glare at the ready. "Hello, father." I said sarcastically as I sat down to a plate of pop tarts.
"Hi," He said guiltily, at least he had learnt his lesson. I relaxed then and stabbed my fork into a pop tart.

"Get going!" Dad said through the open door as he saw me slowly unlocking my electric scooter. I had something else on my mind. "You'll be late for the opening ceremony~!" He continued.
I shook my head, he was right. I had to be there, and I had to see Tamaki. "'kay. Wish me luck!" I shouted as I kicked my scooter to life.
"Five years!" He reminded me as I rocketed down the road. "Say 'Hi' for me~!" He continued, waving after me.
It didn't feel very special, but today was probably the best day of my life. I was finally accepted to the prestigious Ouran basketto boru school. Sure, It sounds like a Cinderella story but this one was different.
My brother and me were separated five years ago because of his illness and we promised we'd meet each other again at this exact school. Okay, He wasn't really my brother but he found me when I was a baby, and his mother looked after me until they had to go.
That's when dad took me in. They'd put me up for adoption and he was the only one available. But I'm grateful, without him I wouldn't be able to continue playing basketto boru or pay for the fees into ouran.
I stopped my memory trip as I entered the gold plated school gates and awed in amazement. Little did I know I wasn't alone.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" A quiet voice hushed next to me, "I've seen the brochures" She continued as I turned my head to face a small caramel haired girl no younger than me, staring at the massive halls and buildings, "But I've never quite got used to seeing it so close!" She smiled as she turned to face me.
"Yeah, It's stunning. I've passed it plenty of times but I've never stopped to take it in." I agreed, returning the smile. "My name's Haruhi Fujioka. I'm new here."
"Same here, I'm Eclair Tonnerre. Nice to meet you." She stated as she walked forward, "Shall we?" she asked as she turned to me.
"Sure! I would've done something wrong on my own." I joked as I hurried up to walk beside her.
"Oh my! Fujioka-" Eclair exclaimed as she started running in the direction of a massive hall.
I glanced down at my watch. 9:15. We had at least 10 minutes. Why was she rushing? "Call me Haruhi." I panted as I came up from behind.
"Whatever." She breathed frustratedly as she turned into an alley. "Haruhi, We're late by five minutes!" She looked up towards the only building she could see as she turned into another alley.
I quickly followed her and the direction her head turned. It said 9:35. We were late and my watch had died. "Oh no!" I sighed. I started sprinting, quickly overtaking Eclair.
"Take the 2nd left!" She shouted ahead as she wiped her forehead. I could tell she wasn't used to this much exercise. At least not lately. "And then turn immediately right!" She continued as she smoothed back her flying hair.
I started running the way she told me to but before I could hear her desperate cry I saw a fire escape door quickly approach me. "Shi-" I said as I ran head first into it.
Luckily, the door wasn't closed fully on the other side and I went flying through. Unfortunately, on the other side of the door was no short of a thousand people all looking in confusion as I lie tired and sweaty.
"Whoa- Haruhi!" I heard eclair exclaim, making the tension inside even worse. The teacher saying the speech had given up talking and instead directed her attention to me. Luckily Eclair had the brains to slow down and just jog in.
"Oh goodness." She giggled charmingly, "Look at you, you're a state. Lets get you sat down." She continued as she helped me up. She was a lot stronger than she looked.
Eclair shoved mine and her heads down as she passed the rows of people towards the back and we quietly scooted in 2nd to last row. We then started brushing my clothing and looking thoroughly embarrassed.
We heard the teacher clear her throat, "As I was saying before our slight, interruption," -It sounded as if she was having difficulties giving us a better name- "Welcome, here is the highest ranking student on the fitness exam and Japan's raining junior champion. Tamaki Suoh." She bellowed, clapping as many students swooned.
"Oh my!" Eclair whispered to me as a very tall very pale boy stood up,
"That's Tamaki Suoh, he went to the linked Ouran high school and used to participate as the leader of the basket ball team. He drove the women crazy. More than 100 came to this school just to see him play!" She explained although it seemed like half the row was listening just to know more about him.
I couldn't believe who I was seeing. His eyes were crystal blue but they had always been murky, his hair was bleached blonde, almost foreign but he had always had ash blonde, as if someone had worn out some wood. And he was tall, at least 6ft!
Many of the girls and boys gasped at his appearance as he climbed the stairs to the stage, and strode across almost completely cured of all his former illnesses.
The hall completely hushed when he opened his mouth, "Hello and welcome students, to Ouran Basketto Boru School!" He smiled as many clapped but raised his hand to continue,
"It's so great to see so many new faces but it's wonderful to see my former friends from Ouran high school. I hope you will all take care of each other but before I go I just want to specially welcome my dear sweet sister where ever in the crowd she may be." He smiled and winked once more and reached out his hand to the crowd.
They went wild. And so did I. I couldn't believe he just mentioned me in that massive audience! I couldn't believe he remember me at all!
After he left the stage to take his place, the teacher ( by the looks of things, the dean) took the stage, "Okay. Please report to the cafeteria to receive your dorm arrangements. 3 to a dorm so be nice and greet your room mates and yes, there will be separate bathrooms for ladies and gentlemen. That is all." She explained as we all headed out towards the cafeteria.
